With a great lot of luck, I found the marriage of William Watterson in 1881 to Helen Lang. He was an aerated water bottler and was the son of Leonard Watterson and Jane Beattie. Didn't find a marriage for Leonard 1881-1891 or him on the 1891 census.

So this death?

WATERSTON
Jane
26
-----
1859
644/3 750
Bridgeton

without a mmn  indexed.

Oddly, I'm not seeing Jane's death also indexed under Beattie, which in Scottish records,  it normally would be. Is her maiden name given as Beattie on the death certificate?

Report in newspaper of drowning. States 'the unfortunate woman' had given birth to a son about 8 days previous and was observed to have fallen into a very desponding state of mind. It then goes on to suppose she threw herself into the water in this state. The child is noted as having been remarkably fine and healthy, so not a reason, presumably, for her actions.

Another paper reports the matter as Melancholy Suicide.

And maiden name not recorded? Were the parents also missing on marriage record?

Goodness, Jane WATERSTON's death was Sept 19, 1859. So baby was born abt Sept 10, 1859. Informant signs as Leonard WATERSON. Can't be same William as born Nov 1857 to Leonard and Jane Beattie. So lets find a baby William born Sept 1859.
I found a William Waterston born 1859 but it was in March and his parents were John Waterston and Margaret Corvan.
Ah, here it is. Joseph Waterson, Sept 8, 1859, 7 High Street, Leonard Waterson, lemonade Salesman, Jane Beattie.
On the marriage record, Jane's parents given as William Beattie and ?Jannet (can't read it) Ramsay.

No death found for Joseph between 1859 and 1861. Not on 1861 census. Adopted?
